Just as the thread title reads, trust me, this is not a good period to borrow anybody money in Nigeria.
Its easier to borrow money, it's another factor to pay back since "agreement is agreement".

No matter how honest and urgent the request can be, be sure it will be hard to get your money back. This is not because the person making the request is untruthful (sometimes they might be) but because it's very hard out here.
Expectations are different from reality now.

Its better you give out based on kindness or help rather than borrow anybody money right now.
Take this as a friendly warning not an advice

Tinubu Tinubu Tinubu. You do this one

Its never a good time to borrow money
If you want your friend to turn to your enemy borrow them money

You are right man. I borrowed someone 50k last month with the hope that month ending I will get a refund after he is paid...Since then it's been story upon stories. I just tire. I know the person is not a chronic debtor but naija no easy. He is a married man mared with so much family matters. Me wey never marry sef is having it hard not to talk of married man.. I cant even complain..I just kept mum since..

Dont borrow people money now, especially married people..

NAIJA HARD...

Absolutely right. if you have to borrow someone, give them what you can afford to let go. and most importantly learn how to say no. Saying no, I can't at this time now has really helped me alot.

YOU PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND THAT BORROWING IS WHAT GIVES RISE TO GOOD ECONOMY IF WELL UTILIZED.
THE USA IS THE HIGHEST DEBTOR IN THE WORLD,YET IT IS ALSO THE NUMBER ON ECONOMY IN THE WORLD.
THE ADVICE SHOULD BE LEND MONEY TO THOSE WHO HUSSLE GENUINELY TO MAKE GOOD INCOME. e,g These are those that run businesses or work monthLY pay jobs that you have verified as being honest with prudent lifestyle. If you don't borrow, currency will not circulate enough for economic expansion. So stop discouraging lending out money to credible borrowers.
Borrowing money in Africa is fraught with nonchalant attitude of I don't care to pay back, excuse of hard economy has nothing to do with it. IT IS A QUESTION OF CREDIBILITY AND QUESTIONABLE CHARACTERS AMONG NIGERIANS IN PARTICULAR.
Nigerian youths of people should learn good values from their forefathers
BORROW MONEY THAT YOU HAVE CAPACITY TO REPAY
WHEN THEY LEND YOU MONEY, TRY TO PAY BACK

you are very right, I borrowed my neighbor #100k yesterday, within me, I knew I wasn't going to get that money back but it become necessary. The wife is about to deliver, they have no food nothing, his salary hasn't been paid for the past four months, looking at the children and the pregnant woman obviously starving. I don't have option
